Fox has officially announced the renewal of its popular reality dating series, Farmer Wants a Wife.
The third season is set to premiere on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at 9 pm ET.
This season brings a significant change, with actress and author Kimberly Williams-Paisley stepping in as the new host. She succeeds country music star Jennifer Nettles, who led the show for its first two seasons.
Williams-Paisley, renowned for her Nashville and Father of the Bride roles, expressed her enthusiasm about joining the series.
Reflecting on her transition from city life to the countryside after marrying country singer Brad Paisley, she stated in Variety, “I enjoyed being myself in this show, which was a new experience for me with my first unscripted series. Because I’m a city girl who embraced the country life when I married my husband twenty-one years ago, I related to the allure of a farmer for these ladies.”
She also commended the show’s commitment to fostering genuine connections, adding, “I really appreciate how dedicated this show and its producers are in helping these hopeful farmers and women find love.”
